I just realized that Duncan Crow mislabeled a photograph of the 6th Australian Divisional Cavalry dating from January 1941 (page 51). They were largely equipped with captured Italian M11/39 tanks, although they also had M13/40's, as well. These had a 37mm gun in the hull and a MG in the small turret. The tanks were marked with white kangaroos, to distinguish them as Australian. To Benghazi, page 219, says that they had a total of 16 Italian tanks in A squadron. They expanded that one squadron into three, by giving one troop 6 tanks and the other two with 9 carriers each. Sources:

About Me

I spent 11 years on active duty in the navy. Half was as an enlisted man and half as an officer. My Dad had interested me in the navy and ships, when I was young. I found that I was attracted to doing research, regardless of topic, although much of that research has been in the fields of naval and military history. My Dad was also an artist, and got me drawing and painting since I was three. Much of my work consists of portraits of military and naval historical figures, as well as ships and tanks.
